So freaking icy. You guys with older folks tell them to be careful. Just fell on my hip walking the dog and it hurts like a bitch.

Group buy on hip protectors for RS aging population. The day I have to wear one of those is the day I drive off a cliff in a car built by CiC.

This cold weather is tough on my knee. I have to take 1 ounce of bourbon every 40 minutes to make it bearable.

I'd like to hope that if any of us saw it that we'd help out as well.
Remember that we all age eventually and that could be you some day.

Went to Shine on Gilley this morning, just had to get rid of the grime and salt off the car. When you pull out, be extra careful ... the run off water from freshly washed cars does leave a nice trail of water which makes a beautiful ice rink. But now that the sun is out, it should be fine.

People cleared snow from the street and placed it on the sidewalk, wtf! Do they expect people walking to the bus stop to walk on the road?  | |

the washworld in whalley is a mess. i'm not sure they even tried to do any snow removal since it first started coming down back in early december.

I'd clean my car with sandpaper before I'd go to shine.

I want to get the salt removed from the undercarriage. I was thinking of Husky or Esso since they have "touch-less" and undercarriage washes.

I go to the touchless wash near ironworkers in North Van. My condo also has an underground carwash that only closes for January/february so I usually do it there, other than these couple months of cold. Shell touchless on Dunbar and 49th(?) is a good one too. You have to ask for it to be touchless though.

Which Husky has undercarriage wash? I dont remember seeing it at Marine and 70th.
The Chevron at Cambie and 16th has undercarriage wash with their ultimate wash.

i ended up going to auto x press on 6th st in burnaby. the more expensive packages ($12-15) include underwash spray, but the lot again is a skating rink...
